Kris's Closet

In this blog post you will get a glimpse of pieces in my closet, learn where I found them

 and where I wore them.  

My name is Kristin. Welcome to my closet!

Friday I had a a great day with my mom. We checked out the Transfigurations Exhibit at the Wexner Arts Center in Columbus, Ohio. The collection belongs to the Wexner Family; known for bringing us brands like Victoria's Secret. The art collection consists of greats like Pablo Picasso,  Edgar Degas and Susan Rothenberg;the kind of collection that most people could only dream of owning. This collection featured six famous artists that normally sit on the walls of the Wexner home. They have been collecting the pieces for 40 years. 

My mom and I ended our day on the town with a late lunch at Lemongrass Fusion Bistro in the Short North of Columbus and some lite boutique shopping. Since we were doing a little walking, I wanted to be comfortable. My look was centered around being able to wear denim and flats. I'd also just washed my hair and didn't have time to set it, so it became a great day to wear a turban. The blouse is vintage. I thought it would be perfect for the season and it features a fall color trend, Sangria. Check out the look!

My name is Kristin. Welcome to my closet!

Monday was Columbus Day so my parents decided to take me thrift shopping on their day off. We went to the Short North to check out 'Out Of The Closet'. It is a thrift store whose proceeds benefit HIV/AIDS. They even do free testing at the store. I found some fun items for the Fall/Winter 2014 season.  Most important I got to spend time with my favorite lady, my mom. 

Leopard is in again this year. "Ladylike Leopards" were all over the runways for Fall. What's more ladylike than pink leopard? Since the  weather is cooler, I decided to layer my neon pink and off white leopard blouse from summer; with a button-up. Layering is a great way to transition into the cooler seasons. I found these vegan leopard oxfords on the Haute Look website for $14. I had to have them! My look was inspired by my shoes with pieces I already owned.

Army Green Studded Collar button-up: Top Shop (old)

Leopard Blouse: Apt 9 at Kohls (old)

Jeans: Levi's

Leopard Oxfords: Red Circle from Haute Look $14

Fedora: My grandpa's

Scarab Necklace: Top Shop (old)

Sunglasses: Quay Australia

Rings: I found the large silver/gold ring in Amish Country Flea Market. The gold nugget pinky ring was my sister's when we were little.

Until next time,

Be blessed! Be free! Be fashionable!

My name is Kristin. Welcome to my closet!

Sunday I was in Hocking Hills with my guy and his family. We had a picnic at the park and took two hikes together. Afterward my guy and I checked out an art show that was at the Hocking Hills Lodge and then we hiked a path at Conkle's Hollow State Nature Preserve. Conkle's Hollow was my favorite hike. We did the 1/2 mile Gorge Trail which was so full of texture. It was the most beautiful walk I have ever taken. I took a few style photos on the grounds near Old Man's Cave but most of the photos I captured were of the beauty around me. I will share a few at the end of this post. For now, check out my hiking look. This is what I wore.

Just because you are going hiking, doesn't mean you have to wear athletic gear or give up your personal style. I layered a sweat shirt over a button-up shirt. I wanted to be warm and also bring out the small amount of red in my sweat shirt. I think Levi's are the strongest jeans out there. I was sliding down rock surfaces all day and not a thread was broken. Rocky Boots make lots of great work boots for many special jobs like police officers, firemen and and postmen. They also make some of the best hiking boots. I bought this pair on clearance a couple seasons ago from the Rocky Boot Outlet. For my accessories, I threw on a studded beanie to protect my natural hair from bugs and moisture. I finished the look with a pair of gold Quay sunglasses.
